Lots of people realized this wasn't a safe place," said Lucas Mello, a 22-year-old TikToker who has lived in the camp since Dec. 5. Three days after the riots, Moraes released Baldin, sent him home with an ankle bracelet, and barred him from talking to the media. "The heavily violent (protests) ... occurred in exactly the same context that motivated the temporary arrest of Milton Baldin," Moraes wrote in his sealed ruling. Bolsonaristas deride Moraes as an unelected despot who has censored free speech and trampled on the president's executive power.

In 250, as the Roman Empire began to fall apart in Europe, Mayan civilization was steadily gaining in power and sophistication. “Lives of the Gods: Divinity in Maya Art,” opening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on Nov. 21, draws on recent archaeological finds to assemble nearly 100 artworks from the region, nearly half of which are on display in the U.S. for the first time. In the 9th century the Mayan population plummeted, for reasons that are still unclear, and much of Mayan culture was destroyed by the Spanish conquest in the early 1500s. Even today, however, many Mayans live near their ancestors’ homes and follow some of the ancient traditions. As co-curator Oswaldo Chinchilla Mazariegos writes in the show’s catalog, much of what is known about the ceramic censers on display comes from contemporary Mayans.
